"The concept of 'National Interest' is central to the study of IR. In this path breaking analysis Serena Giusti asserts the continuing theoretical relevance of the concept through carefully researched case studies of Brexit and the EU. This book represents a major contribution to the field of IR". - Alan Cafruny, Henry Platt Bristol Professor of International Relations, Hamilton College, New York, "Serena Giusti's book is a brilliant trip into one of the most resilient and used concept by scholars and practitioners in the field of IR. A guide to understand its constant resurrection." - Vittorio Emanuele Parsi, Professor of International Relations, Catholic University, Milan "This book provides a welcome and long-overdue breath of fresh air to academic and policy debates alike. A must-read for students, policy-makers and journalists wishing to better understand the fluid concept of National Interest so invoked in current politics and in many electoral campaigns." - Leila Simona Talani, Professor of International Political Economy, King's College London "Against the backdrop of a connected world, how to make sense of the resurgence of the national interest in international affairs? Serena Giusti masterfully unpacks this complex and controversial concept that lies at the core of current affairs." - Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali, Rome This book intends to make NI more accessible and viable, especially as a critical device for better understanding contemporary politics. The purpose is to refresh the debate on NI and to explore this fascinating concept, appreciating its multifaceted and malleable nature. Throughout time, NI has been presented as an ambiguous but obstinate concept in politics, political discourse, and theoretical elaboration. NI has constantly resurfaced, and many designate themselves as its protectors. Its increasing relevance, pertinence and recurrence make it clear that it can no longer be ignored in political analysis. Serena Giusti is Head of the Programme on Eastern Europe and Russia at Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, and Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Institute for International Studies in Milan.

This book comparatively assesses the China and India's soft power strategy in Iran. By employing Joseph S. Nye's "Soft Power" theory and forming the new concept of "Power of Bonding", this book formulated China and India's soft power narratives and applied it through the empirical analysis in Iran. Based on this theory, this book seeks explanations for the question of "How China and India respectively, strategically and comparatively use the soft power strategy in Iran?". To reach the find-out, this book compares the understanding, resources, strategies, influences and uses of China and India's soft power in Iran under three thematic areas, including "power of bonding through cultural attractions, and attributions"; ‎"political and diplomatic engagement" and "economic partnerships". By analysing China and India's soft power strategy in Iran, this book ‎seeks to contribute to the soft power literature through a theoretical replication based ‎on non-Western soft power strategy, the concept and its empirical application in China and India. Md. Nazmul Islam is Assistant Professor in the Department of Political ‎Science and Public Administration and Head, Turkey, Asia and Indo-Pacific Studies, ULİSA, Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University. He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Media and Communication Studies at the Ankara University, Turkey.

“With major global and regional power balances shifting dramatically, understanding what drives Indian foreign policy has never been more important. In this ambitious and thought-provoking study, the author identifies pluralism, tolerance, non-violence and hierarchy as cultural values that have long been most influential and remain so today. Enlivened by case studies of nuclear policy, humanitarian intervention and the Middle East, this book will appeal not only to international relations theorists but also practical policymakers.“ — Professor the Hon. Gareth Evans AC QC, Former Foreign Minister of Australia, Distinguished Honorary Professor, Australian National University and President Emeritus of the International Crisis Group ”Dr. Pethiyagoda’s fine volume, drawing on India’s rich history, diversity of cultures and rising geo-strategic importance, greatly enhances the fast-growing field of Indian foreign policy scholarship.” — Dr David M. Malone, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, Rector, UN University, Author of Does the Elephant Dance: Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy and Former Canadian Ambassador to India As India rises to great power status in the emerging multipolar world order, what influence will its rich and ancient culture have on the country’s foreign policy? This book reveals that cultural values have greater explanatory power than previously thought and describes the nature of their influence. Excavating thousands of years of history, the monograph identifies enduring values that are relevant to contemporary foreign policy. It examines three critical areas of Indian foreign policy – nuclear policy, humanitarian intervention and relations with the Middle East. Major decisions were shaped by cultural values – sometimes at the expense of strategic interests. India’s choice to test nuclear weapons was not purely because of China or Pakistan: hierarchy also played a role. From a hierarchical worldview shaping Delhi’s approach to international law on arms control to pluralism facilitating simultaneous friendships with America and Iran, values thread their way throughout India’s foreign relations. Non-violence underpins Delhi’s soft power in both the West and the Middle East, while having spurred India’s opposition to Western intervention in Iraq. Analyzing state behavior and interviewing diplomats, the book charts culture’s evolving influence from Rajiv Gandhi to Narendra Modi. Kadira Pethiyagoda was a Brookings Institution Fellow, diplomat, foreign service officer, political candidate, and visiting scholar at University of Oxford, UK.
